Where To Buy Maxxis 4 Snows?

[cheater13]

I didn't do too good up at the drags with my razrs so my next tire choice is the 4 snows. I saw a kid run them on both his raptor and 450r and he hooked great!

But where can i find these tires for sale? I only found 1 website but their around 72 bucks.

[HondaRacing83]

$72 aint bad imho..

[JOHNDOE83]

I think he means $72 a piece, which still isnt bad.

Ebay is your best bet, I won a almost new set of 4snows with rims for $112 with free shipping just a few weeks ago.

I knew razrs werent gonna do much, Im suprised more MX and XC racers dont use a more aggresive tire.

[cheater13]

Yeah their 72 apiece. I actually just found them for 67 which is a few dollars cheaper.

But yeah, the razrs didn't even hook. I dropped my tire pressure down to 1psi and they still spun some. So i either want to get some 4 snows or pro wedge II's if their any good. I heard good about both the 4 snows and pro wedges. I'm also still debating if i should get a set of the regular ohtsu tires...

Anyone know anything about them? I know the 4 snows will hook good but some people said they flexed and wore too easy?

[JOHNDOE83]

You might wanna try those ams sand snakes, I live on hardpacked dirt roads and my paddles work fine on that stuff, I actually get the holeshot and almost win a "estimated" 300ft against a 400cc trinity, drag ported banshee that uses prowedges.

For the price it might be better for now, I worry that with 4snows you might not be able to spin the 22in tires very well at high rpm.

4snows need high rpm to expand and grip, all this changes your gearing and usable HP, yes 4snows are better for lower HP motors but lower HP motors in drag racing ATVs is around 45-50HP

I think youd be better off with paddles and some gearing changes.

I could be wrong tho, im not at your track.

[cheater13]

I appreciate your thoughts John. But that kid also had a stock raptor 660 with the 4 snows on and he kicked butt on that thing too! And he only weighs around 100 pounds, but he hooked quick! I would think I could be able I pull them tires if a stock raptor could. But I might buy a 13t front sprocket incase.

Yeah, it even rained and they watered the track down and people was spinning. A built yfz with ohtsus said he only got alittle bit of traction when he normally hooks up pretty quick.


Oh, and there was a guy up there with some type of bigger 8 inch paddles on his LTR. First race, he spun the whole time so he switched them bout with some type of regular tires.

You should be able to find some smokin deals on AMS Zippers (in house Parts Unlimited brand). They are similar to the tire design you're looking for.

I dont know if they even make them anymore...but did you look at.Pure Sports Realtors? 10 years ago a bunch of my riding buddies ran them on their warriors. Those tires climb like no other. Aside from paddles.

[cheater13]

I can't find any zippers under parts unlimited. And I don't really wanna try them pure sports realtors because I don't know anyone that runs them.

I guess my only choice is the 4 snows cause I can't find the zippers and the pro wedge IIs are hard to find. I heard the 4 snows were about a pound lighter in each tire though.

I just searched them on that website you gave me and they are 63.88 apiece.


But i need to find some 4 snows and some stock ohtsu tires and i would like to compare them. When i get the 4 snows, i might have to drop a tooth on the front sprocket since they sit taller. I think since my 400ex is a 05, it comes stock with a 15t front right now. I might have to try a 14t.

What's you guys' opinions?

[MEOFF]

thats the price in there newest book must have changed their prices guess it was worth a shot tho

[HondaRacing83]

your 05 comes stock with a 14T. i went down to a 13T

[tbrackman84]

i got zippers around the beginning of winter this last year on ebay for like 100 dollars for the pair

[cheater13]

I would like to find some zippers or 4 snows on eBay but I haven't seen them lately on there. I really wanna get a set of ohtsus too just to have them for a backup drag tire.

[Zakradu398]

Over on BHQ they say for dirt, that tire has the best grip of any.

The ohtsus or 4 snows?

[cheater13]

Well I just called a guy and he told me to get the ohtsus before the 4 snows. He said for the 4 snows to work perfect, the dirt has to be just right or they will fold over and spin.


What do you guys think?

[JOHNDOE83]

I dunno man, people upgrade from ohutsus to razrs and you said the razrs spin to much.

4snows are for snow, snow is slick, so are hard dirt tracks.

Trust me when I tell you paddles or 4snow like tires are best, your friend was spining his paddles to much because he didnt have enough paddle for his bike or the track.

Sometimes 8 or even 12 paddle tires just arent enough.

I spin my 8 paddle haulers all the way down my track, I still run really good times, I should probally been using 12 or 14 paddles or even 4snows but I still beat paddled 450rs all day.

If I had more paddle I could easily run with outlaw class.

[cheater13]

Yeah I know you know about this stuff haha. But I might just try ohtsus this time because alot of the other guys ran them and they did good.

If them don't do good, I'm getting either 4 snows or them sandsnakes on blue label rims.
